An Associated Press article on climate change said, “Some of the ice shelf’s disappearance was probably during times when the planet was 36 degrees Fahrenheit (2 degrees Celsius) to 37 degrees Fahrenheit (3 degrees Celsius)warmer than it is today.” What mistake did the reporter make?
Jason is investigating how energy from the Sun drives convection in the
atmosphere. He wants to draw a diagram showing what happens to air
when it is heated by the Sun during the process of convection. Which
diagram should he draw?
A He should draw a diagram that shows cool air in Earth's
atmosphere rising.
B He should draw a diagram that shows cool air near Earth's
surface rising.
C He should draw a diagram that shows warm air in Earth's
atmosphere sinking.
D He should draw a diagram that shows warm air near Earth's
surface rising.
Explain how hail forms? You need to understand that the middle part of a cumulonimbus cloud, where the air temperature is between -40° C and 0° C, there exists a combination of ice and supercooled liquid water droplets, which are cloud droplets that remain liquid even though the temperature is below the normal freezing point of liquid water. This should be part of your explanation. How large can hail get? Why are strong updrafts necessary to produce extremely large hail?

- Bermuda is about as far north of the equator as North Carolina, but, unlike North Carolina, it has a subtropical climate year-round. Why is this so?arrow_forwardWhy will clouds tend to form above either a flat or a mountainous island in the middle of the ocean? (Hint: Compare the specific heat capacity of the land with that of the water and the subsequent convection currents in the air.)arrow_forwardSuppose that the Earth wore a snug steel belt around its equator (r = 6378 km). If everyone on Earth breathed on this steel belt simultaneously so that the belt's temperature increased by 2°C, how high off of the Earth would the belt be lifted? Hint: the coefficient of linear expansion of steel is 0.000012 Convert your answer from km to feet. 1 km = 1000 m 1 meter = 3.28 feetarrow_forward
- Would you expect the temperature of air to drop as it undergoes a steady-flow throttling process? Explain.arrow_forwardDifference between convection and conduction? Site some examples please.arrow_forwardAssuming there is no feedback and greenhouse effect, estimate Earth's average temperature when there is a 5W/m² increase in solar radiation. (Use the solar radiation in two-box model)arrow_forward
- Explain why the 2-4 inch thick layer of blubber on a polar bear helps to keep polar bears warm during frigid artic weather.arrow_forwardWatch the spout of a teakettle of boiling water. Notice that you cannot see the steam that issues from the spout. The cloud that you see farther away from the spout is not steam but condensed water droplets. Now hold the flame of a candle in the cloud of condensed steam. Can you explain your observations?arrow_forwardThe temperature of the ocean off the coast of New Jersey ranges from about 3 °C in late winter to about 24 °C in late summer. If we assume that the ocean temperature is representative of a layer that is 25 m deep and the only exchange of energy is at the ocean surface, what is the average energy flux at ocean surface that would be required to account for this temperature change?arrow_forward
- Which property of the Earth's atmosphere causes the greenhouse effect? The Earth's atmosphere allows radio waves to pass through, but it absorbs some ultraviolet radiation. The Earth's atmosphere allows radio waves to pass through, but it absorbs some infrared radiation. The Earth's atmosphere allows visible light to pass through, but it absorbs some infrared radiation. The Earth's atmosphere allows visible light to pass through, but it absorbs some ultraviolet radiation.arrow_forwardYou can make rain in your kitchen. Put a cup of water in a Pyrex saucepan or a glass coffeemaker and heat it slowly over a low flame. When the water is warm, place a saucer filled with ice cubes on top of the container. As the water below is heated, droplets form at the bottom of the cold saucer and combine until they are large enough to fall, producing a steady “rainfall” as the water below is gently heated. How does this resemble, and how does it differ from, the way in which natural rain is formed?arrow_forwardOne proposed method of mitigating climate change is the planting of large numbers of trees. How would this reduce the problem of global warming? Trees reflect additional sunlight back into space before it strikes the ground, reducing the global temperature. Trees absorb carbon dioxide, reducing the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere and thereby reducing the greenhouse effect. Trees prevent soil erosion, and soil erosion contributes to the greenhouse effect. Trees release water vapor into the atmosphere, increasing the cloud cover and reducing the global temperature.arrow_forward
